Question Video call quality
I've had this Pixel 7 for 2 days. I like just about everything about it but the image quality of the front facing camera in video calls is embarrassing. I've searched everywhere and aside from a handful of forum posts elsewhere on the internet I don't see many people talking about this. Some going as far back as a year + with older pixel devices.
The only place the front camera looks ok is in the default camera app. I mainly use Google meet for video calls but discord, Whatsapp and Skype all have the same issue.
Anyone else have this problem? Anyone know of a way to improve the video call quality? Is Google ever going to do anything about this?

how do you know what your video call quality look like? have you ever thought that its your internet?I've had this Pixel 7 for 2 days.

It has nothing to do with the internet. The preview itself looks awful. Composing video messages on meet looks awful. Not even just video messages. Go into Meet and try and send a photo message to someone. If anyone here has had a different experience I would appreciate if you would share a screenshot from within Meet. I'm attaching a screenshot from Meet and another from the camera app both previewing the front facing camera.

My sister asked me if I switched to new phone (Google Pixel 7) when I made my first whatsapp call to her. She was shocked to hear when I told I switched from Poco F1 and this call was from the new phone.
I have not tried any other app, but the front facing video quality sucks without doubt.
Even the photos taken from front facing cam (barring bright outdoor daylight photos) are extremely poor. This has been confirmed by several known youtube channels who are known for comparative analysis.

I tested out snapchat (an app I hadn't used in a very long time) and the image quality was so much better than in Meet. I'll be damned if I'm going to convince my family and friends to download snapchat after already convincing the iphone users in my life to install Duo just to talk to me with video.
Funny thing is Google is actively marketing right now with Snapchat to sell this phone. I keep seeing the ads on Twitter. Decent video calls in Meet are possible on this phone, they just have to make it happen.
I had a telehealth appointment for therapy yesterday and I couldn't believe how terrible my camera looked in the browser-based service they were using. This is on my Pixel 7 Pro.

I guess its all relative to what you consider as bad, I thought its good enough for goverment work...people I video call with havent complain
google likely wont do anything, its not a wide issue, or even an issue.

Poor video quality on Google's video calling app on Google's current phone isn't an issue when the camera is capable of a much better image?
yea but thats an opinion of a few...you expect a corporation to dedicate their time to you?Poor video quality on Google's video calling app on Google's current phone isn't an issue when the camera is capable of a much better image?
I havent seen this complaint anywhere else but here.

I must be asking too much for not wanting my video calls to look like I'm calling from a Gameboy. Meet looks better on the cheapest samsung phone. If this isn't making sense to you then feel free to read my previous replies again.

If this was a problem, it would have been address a month ago.
